Report confirmed: Cajuns offer 14-year-old scholarship

[CajunEXPRESS]

Probably a good bet he will be a player. If he isn't nobody feelings are going to be hurt. I can assure you with these offers comes a cautionary comment such as ' if you keep on working hard'.

[CajunT]

It is ridiculous. It was ridiculous when LSU did it. It's ridiculous when anyone does it. Just cause it's my coach, doesn't make it not ridiculous.

I didn't say we were better or worse than anyone else. I know it's becoming more common. It is still a bad thing.

And MelRock...that thread is classic Ragin Pagin. I just wish someone would start making smart ___ memes....

Like I said Charlie, it is ridiculous. But as I also stated it applies across the board in every major men's college sport, Football, Baseball and Basketball. Until the NCAA steps in, it will continue and as long as it's legal Hudspeth will do it because his competitors do it.

The concept of offering a 14 year old kid is ludicrous and I think most of us would agree. However, that aside, what is the risk of doing it in this college landscape to UL? We all agree that its going to occur, one way or the other, so why not get our foot in the door early ahead of some of these other big schools?

I say we offer the Desormeaux kid right now. Get in early on the next recruiting trend. Grandpa, uncle, and dad all played D1 ball. Let's get in on that now!

Who?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Or other G5 programs. I want to be ahead of the Lamers, Cougars, Memphis Tigers, stAte. It is a bit presumptuous to think our comepetion for some of these players will only be outstanding P5 programs.

I think the recruiting process is stressful enough when kids are only dealing with it for 2 years. To push that down to 14 year olds is irresponsible. And adults shouldn't need NCAA rules to tell them that. Yes I know that's wishful thinking. Tell me this though, would Tony Robichaux think this was a good idea?

[Duggie35]

It is now becoming routine for schools to offer scholarships to kids just starting to eat solid food and those same kids to commit before they even know what that means.

At the end of the day, until signing day arrives, an offer is still on the table and a kid signs on the dotted line, I don't think anyone can be sure that a damn thing will take place!

If this is the case, why stop at 14?

I heard Saban just offered this cat. Scouts say he's going to be off the charts!

Why stop there? Offer Eli McGuire's as of yet not conceived first child a scholarship. Make it a child's choice scholarship, whatever sport you want!

[CharlieK]

Who?

This guy's kid. I heard he has the genes to be a top notch QB. Offer him now before McNeese or LolyPoly does. Can't fall behind those guys.

I think you are just upset no one has offered your kids yet. Don't let this turn you into another Bandwagon King

I mean really! The oldest is the greatest distance runner I have ever seen in the history of distance runners. Steve Prefontaine descended from the clouds and told me that himself. If UL doesn't get on it quick, I'm gonna black list their asses. Believe me there are plenty of schools that will want him. And the other one? 9 years old and weighs more than his 13 year old brother. He's obviously going to be a D1 offensive lineman. I'm not sure what Hud is waiting on.
